Thank you for the video. This is an interesting comparison. I own neither lens nor camera and have been thinking about upgrading to one of them at some point.

Small comment about the bokeh balls: For a given subject size in the frame the bokeh ball size is proportional to the entrance pupil diameter, and the sensor size/focal length/f-stop play almost no role. In this case the OM lens nominally has a 7.1% larger entrance pupil diameter at max focal length and min aperture, so the theoretically the OM should have 7.1% larger bokeh balls.

There are a few reasons this might not have been the result you saw: 7.1% is a pretty small difference and would be hard to see except in very controlled conditions, the focal length and apertures on the barrel might be rounded to different degrees, the lenses focal lengths and aperture values could change at different rates as you zoom in closer to infinity (the lens specs only apply at infinity), the squirrel could be a slightly different size relative to the frame, or the sizes of the actual spots of light coming through the leaves of the background could be changing with the wind

In any case, my main point is that lens compression is not the cause of your result.

Thought there was a bear cub in the run but I think it was a photographer!
